Locking Pad Settings

Locking the pad settings is useful if Global mode is activated for the pattern pads and you want to keep the current pad settings for one kit slot, for example.

If the pad settings are not locked and you load a new kit, pad settings that are saved in the kit preset, such as Exclusive, Play Mode, pad color, etc. overwrite the existing pad settings.

Note

Inactive pads saved in the kit preset do not overwrite any existing pad settings.

To lock the pad settings, activate Lock Global Pad Settings below the pad section.

If this button is activated, the current pad settings are kept when you load a new kit.
